Bøker av Jack Donovan

PH2T3R is the creative engine of The Order of Fire - a visionary, international group of men organized to create and promote a new future-oriented solar culture. Its members aim to live and develop the syncretic philosophy of Solar Idealism, initially conceived and proposed by author Jack Donovan in his book Fire in the Dark. The Journal of Solar Culture disseminates the output of PH2T3R in writing, paired with podcasts and video recordings of their discussions, as well as educational and creative efforts in that format. Volume I of the printed Journal includes foundational texts, such as Donovan's "The Manifesto of Solar Culture and "Name of the Dragon is Negation." Donovan also contributed three new essays, written exclusively for this publication, including "Apollo's Broken Mask" and an Afterword that addresses the threat of transhumanism to masculinity and humanity and aims, "Toward A Human Future."C.B. Robertson, author of The Hero and the Man, engaged in an adventurous exploration of solar philosophy for this edition of the Journal, titled "Descending Odin's Throne: Enlightenment, Postmodernism, and Solar Phenomenology as a Groundwork for Meaning."The Journal also includes the work of many other members of the Order - such as Ed Hamann's treatise on ghee, inspiring essays for young men, a record of attempts to make Sumerian beer, Vic Verdier's thoughts on Solar Idealism as it relates to architecture, and more. Readers will also find a selection of solar poetry written by our members, including some solar wedding vows and song lyrics written by Paul Begadon, author of The Layman's Havamal.

Men today have the ability to read and be inspired by masculine myths and stories from all of the world''s religions. We can see how they evolved from one to another. Still, so many men find themselves searching for some sense of what is sacred and want to connect to something eternal, something greater than themselves. The question is: with so many choices, so many traditions, so many gods and heroes - which ones? In Fire in the Dark, author Jack Donovan - best known for his underground classic, The Way of Men - explores the common themes in these myths that are still relevant to the lives of men today. Beginning with the simple, primal metaphor of the campfire, Donovan identifies a tripartite system of masculine roles and shows how those roles have been repeated again and again throughout the history of myth and religion. It is the nature of men to create order from chaos, and when order has been created, it is the work of men to protect and perpetuate that order. These jobs have been idealized in world-ordering sky fathers and thundering warriors and fertility gods. Donovan has integrated these ideals into a natural religion for men that is not new, but actually draws from the very oldest ideas about what it means to be a man. 

A More Complete Beast is men's writer Jack Donovan's third book in a series that started with the runaway cult hit, The Way of Men. The second book, Becoming a Barbarian, showed disconnected modern men - men born into the anti-identity "Empire of Nothing" - how to think tribally. In A More Complete Beast, Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity. In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, reveal their highest and noblest selves and become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.
